Thessaloniki - the day after



The last day in this city, big, small, quite, crowd... everything...
The weather is pretty nice, and i can walk just with a shirt on the coast. I've got the White Tower and i stop a while for a quick nap and some shots with my inseparable 5-years old 4megapixel camera which still works properly...

A lunch at pizza hut, with a dish of "amatriciana"... and of course a beer. The sun is still shining, so back on the road towards the Arch of Galerius (Kamara) and the Egnatia Avenue, passing from the Holy church of Nea Megali Panagia.

People here hold in hands a necklace with the cross, everywhere, while walking. They are orthodox and this is a form of protection while performing various activity within the day. I don't hold anything, but the destiny is with me towards the Republic of Macedonia...

Thessaloniki

Finally, Thessaloniki, Macedonia region, which apparently is the right name for Greece.
I want a ticket to Macedonia please.
We are in Macedonia Sir.
No, I want a ticket to Republic of Macedonia please.
...
After a terrific smile, she issued a ticket to F.Y.R.O.M. which is my next stop in 2 days.
But here I am, Thessaloniki. The first impression wasnt that good, but i guess was the fault of the area surrounding the train station. Hostel as always and straight to town, where the landscape is quite different. A sunny day welcomes me, and I take advantage of it walking and listening to the music with my new iphone :)
A "set" of pigeons are flying in the square looking for crumbs of bread....
